He said the program was a valuable investment on USC's part. "THIS COLLEGE is providing the future leaders," Meese said.

MEESE SAID crime affects people both directly, through criminal actions, and indircctly, through taxes. "We are making headway through the best efforts of scholars and students from everywhere," Meese said. He said if we can understand the causes of crime, "We may form a just society." The crime rate was lower in decades when civic organizations such as the YMCA were established and when moral education in public schools was stressed, Meese said.

He said the personal theft rate is low, the buiglary rate has dropped 31 percent, and the violent crime rate has dropped 12 percent. FBI statistics prove there has been a small increase in crime this year, but the "upward spiral of crime has now been slowed," Meese said. THIS PROGRESS coincided with public awareness that resulted in citizen crime-watch groups and efforts of volunteers who give of themselves to work with chemically dependent and abused children, Meese said.

Installation of a heating system, scheduled for this summer, was halted when asbestos was discovered in the ceilings. The ceilings and light fixtures were removed as a result. The delivery date for the new lighting system is set for Nov. 15, said Linda Saad, director of University Housing Services. "We have everything ready once the ceiling is in place. The lights will be installed once the ceiling is in. The carpet is in the warehouse and will be installed once the lights are in place. Then work will begin on fixing and replacing the bars and paneling that was damaged during the project," Saad said. Saad said she expects all the work to go smoothly, but it all depends on workers finishing the ceiling by the time the lights are delivered.

Meese said the administration wants to stop drug trafficking by enforcing laws more strictly and by enlisting the aid of governments in countries where the substances are grown. The administration wants to improve the federal government's capacity to track drug smugglers and gain the cooperation of state and local authorities to enforce the rules. MEESE POINTED out new legislation in which the govern ment demands drug traffickers to forfeit assets by seizing cars, boats, planes, businesses, homes and airstrips in which their proceeds have been invested.

Sigma Nu president Stephen Lewis said his fraternity is very frustrated. "We have no place to congregate and meet as a chapter, but we understand that the contractors are doing the best they can." After the lighting fixtures, ceiling and carpet are completed, the fraternities will have to wait a short time for curtains and curtain rods to be installed. "Little odds and ends types of things," Saad said. Saad said housing services understands what the fraternities are going through right now. "We are just as frustrated as they are. It wound up being a bigger project than we expected." This project hinders both Sigma Nu and Alpha Tau Omega from having any social activities and meetings in their lounges.
